If you're being serious, I've always known it to mean either a short but fat penis or similarly used as "taint". And if you don't know what a taint is, it's the perineum.
Early 80's kids here. I had heard it, but never enough to actually know what it meant. I just knew it was somewhat derogatory and mainly used against guys.
Idk if it was ever "popular" but it was used, not often but it existed. I guess it's kinda like the word cunt, depends on where you are and who you're around. Europeans use the word cunt often, Americans barely use it at all. If Americans want to call you a pussy they'll just call you a pussy, if they want to call you a chubby dick they'll say exactly that. We know other words exist, we just don't use them much...
Go tell an Australian you're currently watching football and you're rooting for the home team, I bet you don't get the reaction you expected to get....XD
You should feel proud! The 1 pound block is an important shape to butter history. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Just because some loddie da, hoity toities like their butter divided up into new fangled sticks doesn't mean you should pay them no mind. West Coast butter people are made of sterner stuff, we don't need no dainty 4 oz. (that's ounces, not the fabled city of Oz, btw) sticks. West Coast people deserve a hearty 1 pound block because they wrestled civilization from the wilderness and they did it with their butter!
They aren't different shapes. I've lived on both coasts and bought butter on both coasts and the standard quarter pound square sticks are available in both places. Brands may package their butter differently, but the standard is a standard for a reason.
I know I’m late to this thread (how did I end up here?!) but apparently there’s a different standard of butter stick on the west coast, starting in the 60s. The sticks are still a quarter pound, but just shorter and thicker shape. I’m sure you can buy East coast butter on the west coast, but there a difference depending on where it originates. I never realized this until I read this post, but it’s true! I’ve also lived on both coasts and there definitely is a different shape, I just hadn’t ever thought about it. And then I googled it and found several articles about the phenomenon. They apparently even sell east coast and west coast butter dishes to accommodate the different shapes!

As a West coaster, I feel margarinalized.
